The BBC and other outlets around the world tend to choose the news items of most relevance to their own countries. If there is any kind of disaster that causes deaths they may run them (they don’t run them all) but in the main it is from their hemisphere or of relevance to their politics. Which like the traditional map of the world with the North at the tope, gives a skewed view of the world, how it is interlinked, our part in the happenings and the importance it actually imports.
There may be more relevance for us in the future to know what is happening in Algeria than in Arizona. But you would never know.
